I was right, the scales were not my friend. I am up 4.2 pounds. It shows you that not logging, paying attention to my food, not drinking enough water and drinking pop can do in less than a week. So I need to go back to the basics. Aiming to get my steps today but I am playing catch up on housework and laundry.

I actually was a teacher at the college level. I taught electronics. I did this for about 5 years total. I would like to teach kindergarten if I was to teach kids.

Scary how those pounds can come back so quick isn't it! Let's hope you have a good week and they disappear just as quick!

Friday weigh in

Ohhh didn't quiet get rid of all that carb water from my birthday weekend as I've eaten too many salty anchovies! Very happy to have dropped 10lbs since Monday morning!! 🤣🤣

Let's hope that extra 5lb disappears this week and i get back to my beginning of April weight pronto!

I can’t believe I missed my steps by 117. When I checked my watch I was fairly far off. I couldn’t fall asleep last night so I guess wandering around the apartment helped get me closer. The weather changes are giving me a headache literally and figuratively. I am taking some Advil and laying back down. It’s coffee group today but I will pass until next week.

PW 147.4
CW 151.8 😩

I need to shape up this week so I get back in the 140’s for next week. The pop cravings are so real.


@itladyee
I volunteered in both my granddaughters JK classes. I swear some of the kids thought I was 5 also. Wish I was able to do the same for my two granddaughters in Scotland. Your grandson is precious. I know that head in the sand feeling.

@FindingSamMon
Good luck with your surgery. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

@NachDeezy
Did I miss you breaking into the 300’s? Awesome! 👏🎉👏🎉👏🎉

@Slimmersixties
You made great strides in gettIng rid of the carb weight. Salt kills me also. I ate some pretzels last night and I am sure there was more salt than it said on the bag.

The fork wins everytime.

Recap: Glad I moved my weight in day to Saturday. A little up today due to sodium but still lower than last week. So.... tomorrow will be a good number.

Goals for April - Water ~ get to 80

- THOUGHTS:



The weekend usually trips me up, so Monday weigh-ins are a no-no for me! Talk about a morale killer.
But...here are 8 things you can do to win the weekend:
1. Stick with your regular bedtime.
2. Work out in the AM (assures you "get it in).
3. Enjoy/savor your morning coffee/tea or whatever suits you.
4. Do some meal planning & prep for the next week.
5. Don't skip meals and eat them at the table (not in front of the TV) with no devices.
6. Get outside, go for a leisurely walk.
7. Watch your alcohol intake.
8. Stay hydrated.

Step Challenge - Goal 8500
ST = Moderate
4/21 8,262
4/22 8,532
4/23 10,371
4/24 7,985 ST = 15
4/25 10,760 ST = 15
4/26
4/27

TV Shows ~ I am a game show addict. I follow Grey's Anatomy, Station 19. I loved This is Us before it completed its run.

@lindamtuck2018 ~ that's the beauty of being with the kids. You don't have to "adult", you can be silly. One of the first things I do whenever I see my grandson is make a silly face. It always brings a smile to his face.

I am gonna bough out for a while. I just have too much much going on. I have told you all about what it takes out me to care for my MIL but what I haven’t let on to is that I have been awaiting results of bladder biopsies taken almost two weeks ago. I had an appointment yesterday and was given the unfortunate news that I have bladder cancer. We are now discussing the difficult decisions regarding my MIL and the need that I have to take care of myself. I will be cheering you all on from the sidelines until I feel that I can return!!

I am so sorry to hear about the bad news you got. I will keep you in my thoughts...I will excuse you so that you can still come in and chat with us🤗

@Megan_smartiepants1970 I'll be in next month. My step goal is 120K a week, so let's say 17K a day; may be over some days and under others; but that a good number.
